dn5:10.1 “Once upon a time, brahmin, there was a king named Mahāvijita. He was rich, affluent, and wealthy, with lots of gold and silver, lots of property and assets, lots of money and grain, and a full treasury and storehouses.
dn5:10.2 Then as King Mahāvijita was in private retreat this thought came to his mind:
dn5:10.3 ‘I have achieved human wealth, and reign after conquering this vast territory. Why don’t I hold a large sacrifice? That will be for my lasting welfare and happiness.’
dn5:10.4 Then he summoned the brahmin high priest and said to him:
dn5:10.5 ‘Just now, brahmin, as I was in private retreat this thought came to mind,
dn5:10.6 “I have achieved human wealth, and reign after conquering this vast territory. Why don’t I perform a great sacrifice? That will be for my lasting welfare and happiness.”
dn5:10.7 Brahmin, I wish to perform a great sacrifice.
dn5:10.8 Please instruct me. It will be for my lasting welfare and happiness.’
